  1. 1. Preliminary Design and Conceptual Analysis of an Electrically Actuated Pintle Injector

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Rymdteknik

    Author : Simone Guietti; [2024]
    Keywords : Pintle injector; space propulsion; space engineering;

    Abstract : ”The Eagle has landed”. With this words, astronaut Neil Armstrong, together with astronaut Edwin ”Buzz” Aldrin, confirmed the safe landing on the Moon of the Apollo11 on July 20th, 1969. This achievement would have never been possible without the engineering behind the construction of the Moon lander. READ MORE

  3. 2. FPGA Based Control of Multiple Electric Machines for Marine Propulsion Systems

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Author : Simon Weideskog; [2024]
    Keywords : FPGA; Field Oriented Control; BLDC; SVPWM; SMO; Electric Drives; Electric Machines; Sliding Mode Observer; Marine Propulsion; Multiple Machines; Boat Motor; Fältorienterad styrning; marin framdrivning; elektriska drivsystem; elmaskiner; flertal maskiner; båtmotor;

    Abstract : This master thesis addresses the control of electric propulsion motors in a marine context. The focus lies mainly on the implementation of field oriented control (FOC) in a field programmable gate array (FPGA). The hypothesis is that FPGAs provide performance advantages over microcontroller-based control solutions by enabling parallel processing. READ MORE

  4. 3. Small scale VTOL aircraft using only one lift-producing motor : A study of lift capacity for a Vertical Take-Off and Landing capable aircraft

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för industriell teknik och management (ITM)

    Author : Daniel Milenkovic; [2023]

  5. 4. Benchmarking a 1 kW hybrid hydrogen fuel cell system

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för energivetenskaper

    Author : Jonathan Envall; [2023]
    Keywords : PEMFC; fuel cell; UAV; hybrid; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV's) offer great versatility in the tasks that they may perform and they are today used in many sectors. The H24LEO project, administered by the Lund University School of Aviation, aims to develop and demonstrate a hybrid proton-exchange membrane fuel cell-powered UAV to aid in search and rescue operations performed by the Swedish Maritime Administration, and reduce the greenhouse gas emissions compared to similar work performed by helicopters.
